G. Keglevich et al., Synthesis of six-membered silaheterocycles by the ring enlargement of 1,1-diphenyl-1-silacyclopent-3-ene, HETEROAT CH, 10(2), 1999, pp. 171-175
Silabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane 2 obtained from silacyclopent-3-ene 1 by dichloroc
arbene addition is useful in the synthesis of ring-expanded products, such
as silacyclohexa-2,4-diene 3 and 5-alkoxysilacyclohex-3-enes 5. Catalytic h
ydrogenation of compound 3 affords silacyclohexane 4. The new heterocycles
ave characterized by C-13 and H-1 NMR, as well as mass spectroscopic data.
